n Linux, there are two types of links that can be created to a file: soft links (also known as symbolic links) and hard links.
A soft link is a pointer to another file or directory. It acts as a shortcut or alias to the original file or directory. When you create a soft link, the original file or directory remains unchanged. If the original file or directory is deleted or moved, the soft link will point to a broken or invalid location.
To create a soft link, you can use the ln -s command, followed by the original file or directory and the name of the link. For example, ln -s /path/to/original/file /path/to/link will create a soft link called "link" that points to the "file" in the "original" directory.
A hard link, on the other hand, is a direct link to the original file or directory. When you create a hard link, it creates another entry in the file system's directory structure that points to the same data as the original file or directory. If the original file or directory is deleted or moved, the data remains intact as long as there is at least one hard link pointing to it.
To create a hard link, you can use the ln command, followed by the original file or directory and the name of the link. For example, ln /path/to/original/file /path/to/link will create a hard link called "link" that points to the "file" in the "original" directory.
There are a few differences between soft links and hard links. Soft links can point to files or directories on different file systems, whereas hard links can only point to files on the same file system. Soft links are also more flexible and can be used to create complex directory structures, whereas hard links are simpler and more efficient in terms of storage space.

Q1. What is inod number uses. Why we need it. Q2. In real environment where we use softlink. i am working as Linux engineer. but did not use yet. Please answer my both questions.

[@MrAwesomeClub]

An inode number, short for index node number, is a unique identifier assigned to every file and directory in a Linux file system. It contains important metadata about the file or directory, such as ownership, permissions, creation and modification times, and location on the storage device. Inode numbers are used by the file system to locate and access files quickly, especially in large directories.

[@MrAwesomeClub]

In a real environment, softlinks are commonly used to provide a shortcut to a file or directory located elsewhere in the file system. This can help to avoid creating duplicate files, reduce disk space usage, and provide easy access to important files. As a Linux engineer, you may use softlinks to link to frequently used files or directories.and this is totally depend on you if you want to use , so you can use ..
